Altitude and V tails

Posted by Tatich on September 26, 2014 at 3:00pm

Hi, I´m new in UAV users ; recently I bought a Talon UAV and I have some doubt:

1.- Someone have been a problem to flight up to 2,260 meters over sea? This is the altitude of Mexico City, where I live.

2.- I observe that V tail are not sustain very well on the body airplane. I dont want to glue the V tail, because is difficult to transport. Someone to use a mechanics to put and remove the V tails?.

3.- The RC technician told me that is probable the Talon will need a long runway to take off. How many meters you need to take off with 2.00 kilograms


Now I arm the Talon and the next week is my first flight.

Cheers

      I'm no expert, but at your altitude, I would fit a 3548 1100KV motor, if you are going to hand launch.

    Tatich,

    Unfortunately you either have to glue the Vtail in, or make some way of screwing it in.

    Did you get the Talon with wing extensions ?

    At 2 Kg all up weight, with wing extensions and the correct motor, hand launch isn't a problem, even at you altitude.
